A story is told about a riderless Appaloosa, flamboyantly painted with symbols that portray a warrior's bravery during battle, wandering the prairie as if in search of his master. According to this tale, the horse would never let anyone else ride him, though many tried. The lightning bolt on his face, the sun on his shoulder, the circle around his eye, the handprint on his flank, the feathers in his mane and tail marked him as a horse with powerful medicine. And so he was allowed to roam the plains freely... to be eventually memorialized by New Mexico artist Loran Creech.

"A silver-gray horse in fancy harness is the perfect representative of the beauty of the season," according to Oregon painter/writer Janee Hughes. After looking at her Pony, she asks us to close our eyes and imagine, "The tinkle of his sleigh bells - the only sound emerging from the deep quiet of softly falling snow. Mane flying, tail waving, and feathered legs lifted high, as he invites everyone to go for a ride!" Artist: Janee Hughes

The ancient Greeks believed that the winged horse Pegasus carried thunder and lightning for Zeus, King of the Greek gods. When Zeus was angry, they believed, he threw down lightning bolts from the skies and caused the rumbling thunder that scared them. Breyer’s exquisite pearlescent Mystical Pegasus, with a shimmer of silver metallic in his wings pays tribute to this myth.

Aztecas are the National Horses of Mexico and they are ridden by charros, Mexican cowboys, as cattle horses. They are known for speed, agility and endurance, and are successful in disciplines like dressage, cattle roping and polo. They are used in bullfights, too. Aztecas, like Toreo, come in lots of different colors, but only solid colors are allowed by the Azteca Horse Association of Mexico.

Imagine traveling in northern France near the ancient towns of Lille, Somme, or Pas-de-Calais. Rather than a modern piece of farm equipment, you are more likely to see old-fashioned horsepower in action. If the horse is somewhat compact and roan or bay with pronounced feathering on the legs, you may be viewing the sturdy but rare Trait du Nord, a breed native to this French region.
